I can’t be the only one...

By FlyingAnchors, in X-Wing

Anyone else still reading 2.0 cost and going “How do I fit that in 100 points?!” And then remembering its 200 points now?

Okay sorry for clickbait. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Yup, I’m still doing that too.

Something in my gut is also twisting each time I try and build a non-swarm list with ships that only have maybe 1 upgrade, and sometimes no upgrades... One list just has Dace with Engine Upgrade and nothing else on him... I feel dirty.

Not exactly, but I still can't help thinking that upgrades over 10pts are incredibly expensive. I think of something I want to include, see its cost and have to fight the urge to instantly dismiss it.

I sort of do it the other way around. I come at it like, I have 45 points left still!!! Awesome, I can fit in Vader or something...

I have to halve points on something I've built to decide if it's good value or not.

"man this costs 62 points it's too expensive.... wait... that's only 31pts, what a bargain!"

Yeah I still have to halve everything first... it will take a while...

92 points of Han Solo is especially hard! Oh, and 70 points of Kyle Katarn+Perceptive Co-pilot+Moldy Crow. BTW, I am sad that Jan Ors Crew is out :-(. Sad little Rodian.

It's like when the euro was introduced. Had to calculate every time to old currency to see what the price actually was in the first months

.. to use click-bait titles ;D

I’ve had the opposite shock when I went to make my last 1.0 store champ list.

HOW IS CHOPPER THIS CHEAP!?!?

My method is to halve everything. I see the cost for v2, and it seems too high and I panic. Then I remember to halve the value, so a 53 point ship is now 26.5, and I struggle with how I’m going to handle the fractional points. Eventually there’s a table flip, clean up, and for some reason everything’s on fire.

My thing is reminding myself that missiles, torpedoes, and bombs have multiple charges now. Like, looking at Concussion Missiles, thinking they are ‘okay’, then remembering that they have 3 shots built in. Having multiple shots changes the decision making while building a lot.

"...who hates clickbait titles."

you're right.

29 points for a generic Syck!! that's so overcosted!! Oh wait, 200 points now :)
